I think between 12 to 15 an hr for a Single person with there priority straight is a good thing.

They did that in Alaska.. minimum wage was raised to like $7.50 an hour. Literally all it did was raise the prices, to offset the rise in wages companies raised their retail prices... the end result is your paying $6.00+ for a value meal at Mcdonalds and I kid you not that is what happened.

Higher wages that are forced by the government mean a couple of things from a business standpoint: Layoffs or Higher prices, the market will adjust and you're back to square one, although you are making more you are also paying just as much.
